NCC To Sanction MTN, Airtel, Globacom Over Auto Data Service Migration

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) yesterday said it would sanction MTN, Airtel and Globacom for defying its directive on automatic migration to Pay-As-You-Go data bundle.
The Commission made this known in its ‘2015 third quarter Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement Report’ obtained pasted on its website.
NCC said it had continued to receive complaints from subscribers on automatic migration of data bundle package to Pay-As-You-Go Billing on depletion of their data bundle.
‘’Consequently and pursuant to section 53(1) of the NCC Act, 2003. The commission on 3rd August 2015 directed all mobile service operators to comply with the data bundle directions.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), NCC said “where a subscriber’s data bundle account is fully depleted before the due date, service providers should notify the subscriber via SMS, giving information regarding the tariff/ billing rate for automatic migration.
‘’That all service providers should henceforth stop auto-migration of subscriber’s data service to the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) account upon depletion of the data bundle account, except with the express consent and authorisation of the subscriber via SMS.’’
NCC said that a follow-up compliance check was carried out which revealed that Etisalat was in compliance with the directives, adding that Etisalat through SMS, notified its subscribers of depletion of their data bundle accounts, before due dates.
The telecoms regulator also said that Etisalat sought the consent of subscribers before automatically migrating them to the Pay-As-You-Go data service.
It pointed out that ‘’Globacom is in compliance with Direction No. One as subscribers receive SMS detailing tariff rate for auto-migration on depletion of their data bundle, stating however, that Globacom failed to obtain express consent from subscribers before migration to PAYG and therefore in violation of Direction No. Two.
NCC explained that ‘’MTN is in compliance with Direction No.One, but failed to highlight the tariff rate for PAYG billing. In addition, data service is not suspended on depletion of the data bundle account even without an authorisation via an SMS from the subscriber.
It said ‘’Airtel is not in compliance with the above directions, stating that consequent upon the above, “the Commission has issued a notice of intention to sanction the concerned service providers.”

Arsenal Fan Beats Wife To Coma For Taunting Him Over Loss

A man in Uganda is wanted by police for assault after he beat his wife to coma because she taunted him over Arsenal’s loss to West Brom on Saturday.
The man identified as Abbas Mukobere reportedly thrashed his wife, Ketty Mbali, who is a Manchester United fan, with a cane until she fainted, News24 reported.
Neighbours said they heard the woman crying for help and attempted to see what was happening inside the couple’s apartment but could not do so as the door was locked from behind.
They then went to the window and saw Mukobere beating his wife with a cane.
By the time they were able to break the door, Mukobere had escaped through the back door, while his wife had fainted from the impact of the severe beating.
Neighbours then took her to hospital where she was treated for a fractured arm and bruises on the face, News24 reported.
When she was asked to explain the details of the quarrel, Mbali said: ”As usual, I started joking about my team Manchester United winning and his team Arsenal losing. It seems he was drunk and upset by his team’s loss that he started beating me up.”

NOUN "We can admit 1million students annually" - VC

Vice chancellor of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Prof. Vincent Ado Tenebe, has disclosed that the university has the capacity to admit over one million new students annually. He stated that this has been made possible through its open and distance learning education.

Tenebe made this revelation at the unveiling of the university’s new goodwill ambassador, Ahmed Is.
Tenebe said Nigeria records an excess of 1million students yearly from prospective university admission seekers due to the inability of the existing 124 universities to admit above the current 500,000 carrying capacity.
According to him, NOUN now has presence and learning points in all the 36 states in Nigeria, plus the Federal capital.
READ: Varsity students protest increase of school fees
“124 universities cannot only admit 500,000 students, the carrying capacities of these universities is always stretched. NOUN can admit 1million students and they will get the same quality education.
“Any student graduating from NOUN will be graduating at par with students of other universities across Nigeria,”Tenebe said.
He added that getting educated through open and distance learning prepares graduates for work with less supervision in the future.
He added that countries like China, India, Indonesia, United Kingdom and the United States of America are using this means to educate their millions of citizens.
While urging Nigerians to take advantage of the democratised system of learning at the university to increase literacy level in the country as NOUN will have a study centre in each of the 774 LGAs in the next 15 years.

LASU Management says it has the right to increase fees

TheLagos State University (LASU) management are standing by their decision to increase acceptance fees from N10, 000 to N20, 000.

The University's students union have protested against this increase and demanded for a ‎reversal of the fees with immediate effect to prevent crisis.

The LASU authorities, in response, have maintained that they have the right to review and increase fees, aside tuition fees which the State government was in charge of.

LASU registrar, Mr Akin Lewis made this known while speaking to press on Friday.
Lewis said that the university only expected the new students who had been offered provisional admission, to pay an acceptance fee.

“This is not the first time new students are paying acceptance fee, so, an increment should not be an alarm, the management has the right to review and increase fees.

“This is not an increment in tuition fees, but an increment in acceptance fee and the management has reasons for its decisions,” he said.

Meanwhile, the students' union, has released a statement which asked new students not to pay these fees until the issue is rectified.

They insisted that making this decision without informing the union is wrong.

”The recent increment of the new students’ acceptance fee and indigenous verification fee, from N10, 000 and 1,000 respectively to 20,000 and 5,000 came as a shock to LASUSU.

“We state emphatically that the management coming out with this increment at this time is a calculated attempt on the part of the management.
“The idea is to introduce what we tag as a “divide and rule” principle between students and the newly admitted students, which the students’ union firmly and judiciously stands against.

“This is also an attempt to bring back the already solved issue of school fees hike; an increment in the acceptance fee will surely lead to an increase in the school fees of new students, which we reject in its totality,"it said.

Success And Academics 5 ways to ensure you get a job after graduation

It can get pretty difficult to get a job once you are done with University, but this does not mean, with a few tips, that you cannot increase your likelihood of this happening for you.

1. Know what you want: In the name of trying to keep your options open, a lot of students make the mistake of trying to apply for anything and everything. This is not the way to go. Having a focus gives you a chance to take your time to research on that career path, know the organisations that will best suit you and build professional relationships.

Remember, do not rely on just your passion when it comes to choosing a career. Most people have a lot of passions. Just look at something you in your life that you put a lot of effort in, and think how you can make a career out of it.

2. Build an online presence: This is 2015, employers will not only look at your CVs to determine if you will be hired. Having an online presence on platform like Linkedin, or having a blog, will give them more idea about who you are. There are a lot of competition out there, and these days, employers can base their final decision on how you come across online, even before they meet you.

3. Don't be money-obsessed:We are all so eager to get out of school and start making money that sometimes we get blinded. How about you consider an unpaid internship for a few months? This is a great opportunity because it gives you the needed experience that you will need for a well-paid job in future, it gives your employer a chance to know you on the job, even employing you, and it gives you a chance to get acquainted with employee life without the immediate pressure to perform. Organisation now have internship programmes for this purpose because it gives them a chance to train you and know how you fit with the team before making the commitment to hire you.

4. Find a mentor: You have to find someone who is doing what you want to do. You can try advanced search on LinkedIn for the company and field where you want to work. For instance, if you want to work in marketing and MTV is your dream employer, enter those two search terms (Marketing and MTV) and see who comes up. Contact them and as for a chance to meet. This could feel like a long shot, but try with as much people as you can, you only need one "Yes." If you get one mentor, it can change everything for you
5. Double-check your application:Before you hit submit, triple-check everything for spelling, syntax, and grammar. Also, be sure that you have the right details in the right applications. Create separate folders on your computer for each company so that you don’t proudly state how excited you are to work at Company X when your application is for Company Y.

Bank of Industry Company trains 150 NYSC Members

According to reports, 150 National Youth Service Corps members are being trained by the Bank of Industry (BoI)under its N2bn Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund (GEF) scheme, in Katsina.

The corps members, taken from six states, were selected from the North-west zone and are among the 1,000 successful applicants nationwide.

Mr. Rasheed Olaoluwa, managing director of BoI, disclosed that the initiative is aimed at empowering Nigerian youths. He said that the the government alone and the private sector cannot solve the issue of unemployment in the country.

He also noted that the training programme was organised for the beneficiaries of the GEF scheme, to give them first-hand drilling on how to successfully run a profitable business.

He stated that while the training would help those who already have business plan but could not translate it to bankable project, the bank’s business development experts would help to fine-tune those who were already in business.

“Although the youth corp members are the direct beneficiaries of the GEF initiative, the entire nation will benefit from it. This is because when the youth are developed, the whole of the environment is transformed,” he said.

UNILORIN May Deploy Drones for Exams Monitoring

If the authorities of the University of Ilorin accede to suggestions by members of the institution’s Drone Team, it is highly probable that the University will, in future, monitor examinations conducted within the campus with drones.
The drones, developed by a team coordinated by Prof. Sulyman AbdulKareem of the Department of Chemical Engineering, added colours to the just concluded 40th anniversary/31st convocation ceremonies of the University.
Other members of the Unilorin Drone Team include Dr. M.T. Yakubu of the Department of Biochemistry; Dr Babalola of the Department of Physics; Engineer Eric and Mr. Ahmed, both of the Department Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
In separate interviews with Unilorin Bulletin last Thursday (November 12, 2015), the Co-ordinator of the team, Prof. AbdulKareem, and another key member of the team, Dr. Yakubu, said that drones can be used to monitor the conduct of examinations in future as well as general campus surveillance in conjunction with the security personnel”.
According to Prof. AbdulKareem, “the use of drones has come to stay because where you don’t want to endanger human life, a machine, which a drone is, can go there and still get the information you need”. He pointed out that “drones, rather than infringing on human rights, actually protect human rights because the man who wants to do evil and knows that a machine can remotely capture his act, will not likely do it”.
The Unilorin Drone Team Coordinator, who is the immediate past Vice-Chancellor of Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, disclosed that some academic departments in the University have started showing interest in the use of the drone. He said, “I believe that apart from giving practical knowledge to those in Geography, Electrical Engineering and Physics, virtually any Department that may have a reason to capture events beyond what is in front of the camera, which has to be aerially covered, can use the drone.”
Prof. AbdulKareem urged the University administration to challenge people to do more “because there are lots of students who are eager to learn and who have ideas that they can put into practice if they have good supervision. He said, “I believe it is a matter of encouragement. Most Nigerian universities should be able to do wonderful things and make major breakthroughs”, noting that some students were co-opted into the team to learn how to operate or fly the drones.
The Drone Team Coordinator enjoined the newly appointed ministers especially for the areas of science and technology, “to see a need for us to self-develop, self-evolve, and self-emancipate as a nation”. He said, “For a long time now, we have relied on personnel from foreign countries to bail us out of every technical problem we get into, but the issue is that, we have so many Nigerians that are trained abroad that are here and even those who have not left the country that are equally talented that should be encouraged to do wonderful things for the nation.”
Prof. AbdulKareem maintained that the new ministers “should see their appointments as a chance of working with the academics in the educational institutions to promote what will be good for the nation, to make the nation as a whole self-reliant on personnel that are available locally.”
In the same vein, Dr. Yakubu said, “We can also use the drone to monitor what is happening on our borders; we have a very vast amount of land, and we can use it to track activities that are going on there. Invariably, we can use the drones to cover the entire University and in getting information to the appropriate quarters. ”
The Biochemistry Lecturer, who urged the University to ensure that the use of drones on the campus remains functional and sustained, advised that “it should not only be used during the convocation as we did last time, but we should put it to all-round use on campus.
Dr Yakubu said that drones can be used to monitor the conduct of examinations in future; we can use it for surveillance on the campus and when you look at all these, it will be of advantage to the whole University”, he stressed.

Police arrest 21 homosexual students in Delta

Police detectives in Asaba, Delta State, have arrested 21 students who have been allegedly involved in same sex activities.
It was reliably gathered that the two state- owned polytechnics (names withheld) where the suspects were arrested, were a beehive of perverse sexual acts as male students engage in same sex activities for financial gains.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Celestina Kalu, who confirmed the arrest of the suspects, said the police acted on a tip off. She said, “We had it on good authority that the male students allegedly engaged in anal sex.
The suspects, upon interrogation, made useful statements to the police while investigations are ongoing.” Investigation revealed that homosexuality has been on the rise in the two institutions and culprits were also members of various cult groups.
Meanwhile, the police in Obiaruku have arrested the leader of a notorious cult group who allegedly had been terrorising the community in the last one year.
The cult member, it was reliably gathered, had allegedly led other members of the group to attack unsuspecting residents of the community and inflicted injuries on them.
Confirming the arrest, the state PPRO, Celestina Kalu, identified the suspect as Ikechukwu Azubuike, a 19-year-old school dropout. She said he would be charged to court on completion of investigation.

BREAKING NEWS: MASSOB Faction Claims Nnamdi Kanu Has Been Murdered

A faction for the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB), has alleged that the Director of Biafra Radio, Nnamdi Kanu, has been killed.
Kanu has been in detention for over a month since he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security, in Lagos. Kanu, who’s being charged on three counts of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to unlawful society, was absent at the resumed hearing of his trial on Wednesday, November 18.
However, on Saturday, November 21, the factional MASSOB claimed that Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, may have been murdered. MASSOB factional Director of Information, Comrade Uchenna Madu, revealed via a statement that Kanu’s murder was disclosed to the group by security operatives who’re sympathetic to the Biafra agitations. The group while threatening of rebellion should Kanu be truly dead, insisted that he must appear in court on Monday, November 23, by all means possible. “Factional MASSOB has discovered that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu detained by Nigeria has been murdered in Abuja. “Information to Biafra Intelligence Agency (BIA), through operatives sympathetic to the Biafran cause revealed it to us. Pro-Biafran groups may not believe it until Monday, Nov 23 when Nnamdi will be arraigned in court.
“The cause information we are receiving from Abuja is not healthy, we’re still waiting till Monday. Nnamdi Kanu is the arrowhead of the Biafra agitation.
Nigeria should be extremely careful on Nnamdi Kanu”. “If government extra judicially kills Nnamdi Kanu, Nigeria will experience the worst volcanic rebellion and aggression.
“We call on the Ohaneze Ndigbo, South East Govs, Igbo leaders of thought, South-East and South-South Professionals, Igbo National Assembly members, traditional /religious leaders to call Nigeria’s Presidency to order now.
“We demand that Nnamdi Kanu must appear in court on Monday, Nov 23 alive or dead. We love non-violence & wish to maintain it but Nigeria is pushing Biafrans to the wall”.

RSUSTStudents Protest300%School Fees IncreaseFor None...

A coalition of Non Indigenous Students of the Rivers State University of Science&Technology carried out a peaceful protest in the school premises.

Students protesting at RSUST (Pulse)

Students protesting at RSUST (Pulse)

The protest was due to the 300% difference between indigene fees and that of students who are indigenes of Rivers state. The Non Indigenous Students reportedly vented their streets of the school to vent their frustration on Wednesday, 18th November.

One of the students who spoke with Pulse disclosed that non-indigenes of the states are paying N82, 000 as tuition, while those from Rivers state pay a total of N18, 000.

According to the aggrieved student, former governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi reduced the fees last session and all students were paying the same amount as fees but since Governor Nyesom Wike took office with the new Vice Chancellor of the school, Prof Blessing Didia, the fees for non-indigenes were increased while those for indigenes stayed the same.

The students are now calling on the Federal Government to see to it that the situation in the school is fairly rectified.

23-Year-Old Student Breaks Record In University Of Ibadan

The Nation reports that a 23-year-old student got 8 out of 11 possible distinctions in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.

The indigene of Iragbiji in Osun state beat the record of seven distinctions set some years ago and became the overall best graduating student of the university.
Organizers and participants of the convocation ceremony held at the International Conference Centre of the university were shocked and amazed when his name was called 31 times during the prize presentation.

Speaking with The Nation, Sadiq explained how he achieved such success and why he chose veterinary medicine and not medicine or surgery.

“Years ago, University of Ibadan practised a mode of admission where your credentials are graded; basically your JAMB and O-level results. Unfortunately, my O-Level was not included, so my weighted average was so low. It was 27.5; too low for the course I wanted. Veterinary medicine was neither my first nor second choice. It was an alternative as ‘change of course’ due to what I call irregularities, which prevented me from being admitted for Basic Medical Science,”he said.
When asked how he managed to break the record and become the best graduating student, Sadiq explained:
“I knew I was going to do very well in the university, but being the best overall student of the year…sincerely I did not think of it. I had some B grades despite the fact that I still scored highest in those courses. The number of distinctions attainable in the veterinary school, University of Ibadan is 11 and I made 8. The other three courses were B grades.”

The talented young man revealed that after his youth service he is planning to enroll for a postgraduate course in diagnostic medicine in the USA.
“Being a first class student takes hardwork, focus and prayer to sustain.

Some are gifted, but work is still required. Prayer is a necessity if we want to survive the hurdles of life; I am a Muslim and I pray five times daily. Distractions would always surface, but when you are focused, you will be able to achieve many things, even with the numerous distractions in the university.”

“In veterinary school, 24 hours is never enough. Going to class Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 5pm; extra-classes on weekends, numerous tests from various departments…It is impossible to thrive without burning the midnight oil,”he said.

Some candidates who sit for the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations use text message abbreviations the West Africa Examinations Council has said.
According to WAEC, candidates use “u” for “you” in the English Language paper while some others are unable to correctly apply principles and input data in Mathematics and Computer Studies.

Candidates also use text message abbreviations “u” for you in English Language; there are spelling errors in Islamic Studies – Igbo, Ibibio, Biology; Computer Studies 2, Foods and Nutrition, Catering Craft Practice 2 & 3.
“Poor mastery of English Language and other languages in Arabic; English Language; Islamic Studies; Efik; Igbo; Yoruba; Literature-in-English and Foods & Nutrition, poor knowledge of prescribed texts in Arabic, Igbo, Ibibio, Yoruba and Literature-in-English 2 & 3, misinterpretation of questions in Literature-in-English 2 & 3, Marketing; Health Education 2 and Catering Craft Practice 2& 3.”
Advising candidates to read relevant textbooks and novels in various subject areas and practise map drawing as well as labelling against future examinations, the committee also urged teachers to endeavour to cover their subject syllabuses while preparing candidates for the examination.

NYSC Corps to resume 3 batches in 2016

    
The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC recently announced that they will be going back to dispatching 3 batches of corp members in 2016.

The practice of having three batches was changed in 2015 when they had two batches in two streams.

The Management of the scheme had attributed the 2-batch-a-year change made earlier this year to lack of enough funds to run three batches.

The management made this statement on their Twitter page.

"We are going back 2 having our 3 batches & tentatively 2016 Batch A Orientation course,will be in between Feb & March."

They also have an explanation for the 2-batch method that  was introduced this year.

"We had two batches ds year b’cos our budget was too small & hadn’t enough fund but now NYSC is on Zero Budgeting we’ll run d 3 batches."

Meanwhile, NYSC is informing 2015 batch ‘B’ stream ‘I’ prospective corps members who were unable to attend camp, that the Management has concluded plans to allow them to join stream II.

They are required to log into their NYSC portal and re-print Call-up letters as the Stream II reporting date will be reflected on the new call-up letters.

These corpers are urged comply and report to Camp on the stipulated dates because missing stream II means missing Batch B.

Ambode LASU unions laud governor for proposing single 5-year tenure for VC

TheLagos State University(LASU) Staff and Students Union on Wednesday commended the state government for proposing a single term of five years for the post of the institution’s Vice-Chancellor.
Gov.Akinwunmi Ambodehad on Nov. 15, sent the institution’s 2015 Amendment Bill to the State House of Assembly for ratification.
This is contained in a statement by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Steve Ayorinde.
‎
The unions told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) inLagosthat the development was a welcome idea.
‎
Mr Saheed Oseni, Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian ‎Universities (SSANU), LASU chapter, said the bill when passed would go a long way in stabilising the institution.
Oseni said that the single term tenure for the vice-chancellor would also help to eliminate the lingering crisis in the institution because it would caution the substantive to be well behaved.
"The person coming ‎on board will behave well within his or her period, knowing that his name will either be recorded in the good or bad book of the people,’’ he said.
‎
Mr Alfred Agusuo, Chairman, Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities (NASU), LASU chapter‎ also commended the governor for doing the needful and yielding to the yearnings of the unions.
Agusuo said that the bill when implemented would lead to a reduction in the problems facing the institution as it did in federal universities within the country.
"Initially, the Federal Government was also operating a four-year renewable tenure in the federal universities which led to incessant crisis in most of the institutions.
"However, since the implementation of the single term of five years tenure, the problems in the federal universities had reduced to the barest minimum.
"And I am sure the same will happen in LASU,’’ he said.
‎
Mr Adeyemi Onikoro, Presidents, Lagos State University Students Union (LASUSU), also said the proposed bill was what obtained in other universities.
"This is an agreement that was agreed upon by all states, federal government and academic staff unions and as such, no state is expected to breach the agreement,’’ he said.
Onikoro urged the governor to as a matter of urgency look into the other issues affecting the institution as the issue of the vice-chancellor was not the only burning issue.
"We should not forget that this is not the only issue we have in LASU; there are other issues that call for attention of the visitor to the ‎university.
"We implore the visitor to the university, Gov. Ambode, to please look into these issues and take a swift step towards resolving them all,’’ he said.

LASU Students Protest Increment in Acceptance Fees

Lagos State University, LASU students union protest increment in acceptance fees. Any attempt to sustain the increment may lead to a looming crisis from the students.
The Lagos State University (LASU) Union, has urged the school management to revert the increase in acceptance fee. The fee, which was formerly N10, 000 has now been increased to N20, 000.
Mr Adeyemi Onikoro‎, LASUSU Chairman, told the ‎News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the reduction should be with immediate effect.
Onikoro said that the increment was another strategy devised by ‎the authorities to exploit the students and a technical way of increasing the school fees.
“Such a policy was initiated sometime ago at the Obafemi Awolowo Universit‎y (OAU), Ile-ife, but it caused crisis which led to the closure of the university for six months.
“We do not want such to happen in LASU, so that the academic calendar will not be distorted; that is why we are calling on the new governing council and the acting Vice-chancellor‎ to do the needful.
“Any attempt to sustain the increment will be vehemently opposed by the students,” he said.

N5000 To Unemployed Youths To Begin In 2016

The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has started plans to pay the N5000 monthly allowance to the about 25 million unemployed youths in the country by 2016.
The All Progressives Congress had promised before the election that it would address the issue of unemployment by paying unemployed youths N5000 and also introduce a feeding programme to schools.
The Peoples Democratic Party had in a motion called on the president to immediately fulfil his campaign promise by implementing the N5000 payment to unemployed youths but the move was rejected by APC senators.
The Punch however reports that the federal government had started plan on Monday, November 16 to pay the unemployed youths and also implement the school feeding programme and this will be covered in the 2016 budget.
Some officials have also been saddled with the responsibility of finding out the accurate number of youths that will benefit from the scheme.
A top government official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said the scheme had to be done well so that it would not be mismanaged and hijacked by politicians.
“You know that if the scheme is left open-ended, even Nigerians, who are employed and are by no means vulnerable, will still struggle to benefit from it.
“You also know that if not properly handled, politicians will hijack the scheme and it will become a means of settling their constituents, whether they qualify to benefit from it or not.
This is why the government will come up with data on the beneficiaries very soon.”
The official said the scheme might not take off in January or February of next year as it was important to ascertain the number of youths that deserve the payment and how much it would cost.
Mr. Laolu Akande who is the senior special adviser to the vice president on media and publicity confirmed that work was already on to identify the beneficiaries.
He said:“Work is ongoing on various aspects of the implementation of that social investment plan, including the identification of those that will benefit from it. Very soon, we shall be concluding work on that; that is a very important aspect of the programme.
“The plan of the government is to start as much as possible in the area of social investment, and conditional cash transfer is part of it.
“It is the plan of the government to explore how to start this with the 2016 budget.”
According to the Ministry of Finance and that of Budget and National Planning, the full implementation of the scheme would cost the federal government N125bn monthly and a total sum of N1.5tr annually
Another anonymous source said that apart from the N5000 unemployment payment and the school feeding programme, the government also planned to take care of Internally Displaced Persons.
He said: “We have started working on the budget since September this year at the Ministry of Budget and Planning.
“Since the ministry is the one coordinating the plans of government, what we did was to identify six priority programmes by pillars which have already been communicated to all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government.
“So while preparing the medium term plan, what we did was to look at the manifesto of the APC and prepare our plan based on what its campaign promises were to Nigerians before the elections.
“And since social development is a key aspect of its campaign, we identified social protection schemes such as the conditional cash transfer and the school feeding programme as key to the programmes for 2016.”
President Buhari canceled the SURE P Programme which was also aimed at helping Nigerian youths.Christopher Kolade who headed the programme before he resigned said it had been hijacked by politicians and the true beneficiaries did not benefit from it.

The unions – National Union of Air Transport Employees, (NUATE) and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE), in a letter dated October 21, 2015, accused the NCAA of not adhering to the condition of service with respect to promotion of workers and other welfare issues.

The letter jointly signed by the Secretary General NUATE and Secretary General NAAPE, Comrades Olayinka Abioye and Aba Ocheme, respectively, threatened to shut down the agency from mid-night on Sunday until further notice.
The unions insisted that the withdrawal of service by the workers became paramount in order to safeguard the integrity of NCAA’s condition of service.
The unions noted that the action of the Director-General of the NCAA, Captain Muhtar Usman, was in violation of section 3.4 of condition of service, adding that all efforts to discuss with the management had been futile.

The letter said: “By the copy of this notice, the general public is hereby informed of this development and the implications that all safety regulations activities of the NCAA will be unavailable from that time and date.
“The above notice will remain in force until otherwise directed by the secretariat of our unions.”
“The management of NCAA has been playing some pranks so to speak because ordinarily, people who are due for promotion ought to have received their letters since January or thereabout, but as we speak those letters are not forthcoming.

“The management is trying to introduce a new policy that is not known to the condition of service, which is that they said the ministry of aviation directed them to conduct an examination.
“We are going to take all lawful and legal steps to ensure that we do what we have capacity and capability to do, which the last resort will be a strike because we are tired of impunity of the NCAA management,” the letter added.

Nigeria Education 'PTDF overseas scholarship has not been cancelled'

Reports that thePetroleum Technology Development Fund(PTDF) overseas scholarship scheme has been cancelled are false.
The Executive Secretary of PTDF,Femi Ajayi, made the clarification while speaking withDaily Trustat a two-day workshop on collaboration between Oil and Gas Centres of Excellence and Nigerian tertiary institutions.
Ajayi explained that the Fund only restructured the terms of the scheme.
"The PTDF has not cancelled the scheme,"the Executive Secretary said.
"The point I have made is that as much as possible we want to increase capacity building locally here and because of that even our training partners; we have told them that going forward, people that we would be favourably disposed to, are those partners who are ready to encourage our domestication drive.

"We are asking them to come and set up shops in our country here, to do what they are doing for us over there, here."

He further explained that cancelling the scheme is not likely to ever happen because of the importance of encouraging interaction interaction.
"In fact we are not likely to be able to cancel it outright because don’t forget, there is a need for intellectual interaction and diffusion even within the country.
"If you bring scholars who trained in the US, Germany and the ones that trained in the UK, the mix is the best you can have and be better for you because we are combining the expertise from so many places."

The PTDF is a Federal Government parastatal established to develop petroleum technology and building indigenous manpower for Nigeria's oil and gas industry.

In Ekiti Govt college hit by strange disease, 300 students hospitalised

At least 300 students of the Federal Government Girls’ College in Efon Alaaye,EkitiState, are hospitalised after being infected with a strange disease.
According to reports, parents have already withdrawing their children from the school as news of the epidemic spread on Thursday.
It was gathered that the diseased is suspected to be Cholera, as some of the victims have been treated and discharged, but a chunk of them are still being treated.
Symptoms of the disease was said to have started manifesting on October 10, and according to the school principal, Grace Ogunyomi, the case was reported to the state government but no immediate action was taken - only routine medical attention was said to have been provided.
However, the state GovernorAyodele Fayose, is said to have immediately directed the state Commissioner for Health, DrOlurotimi Ojo, to deploy medical personnel to stop the spread of the disease.
Mrs. Ojo dismissed reports that the disease is cholera, he said it wasdiarrhea.
It was initially believed that the students’ food must have been contaminated, but it was later found that the source of the disease was not from their food.
The Commissioner said,“We alerted the water corporation to chlorinate their water. They have about six boreholes and we have got them chlorinated, because we knew as professionals that the water could be a source,” he said.
“We are trying to look into their environment, so that we can get where such could have broken out. We want to know how they dump their faeces and how they dump their sewage.
“We have taken the blood samples of students infected to the hospital and preliminary test shows that it was not cholera. It was diarrhea and vomiting. We are sending the samples for further test to confirm that it was not cholera.”
She assured that there is no cause for alarm as government would ensure the situation is nomalised.
